Hi everyone,

as I shared in a previous email, we have to plan for our policy committee
session this Sunday.

as draft agenda and open for discussion and amendments:

1- Review of GNSO council agenda
     - Motions discussions/voting
2- Topics for discussions:
    - Board seat election: process and timeline
    - Ongoing PDPs: any reports from the Saturday sessions
    - Workstream 2: any reports from full-day meeting
    - meeting with Data Protection Commissioners prep (TBC)
    - Public consultation: any statement from NCSG
3- AOB

We should have action items to follow-up those discussions.

if we cannot cover all topics, we may meet informally during the week and
take notes of our discussions, sharing them in PC list for record. We also
have NCSG CD  and I would like to ask Tapani if we can cover remaining
topics in that day without jeopardizing other agenda topics.

Best,

Rafik

*Item 3. Consent Agenda (10 mins)*



*3.1 – Confirmation of GNSO Co-Chair for the Cross Community Working Group
on New gTLD Auction Proceeds*



In November 2016, the GNSO Council had approved the Charter for the new
Cross Community Working Group (CCWG) on New gTLD Auction Proceeds and
appointed Jonathan Robinson as the GNSO co-chair to the group in December
2016 (https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161215-1). On 9
February 2017, Jonathan Robinson informed the CCWG and the Council that he
will be stepping down as GNSO co-chair, and requested that the Council
appoint a successor as soon as is reasonably possible (http://mm.icann.org/
pipermail/ccwg-auctionproceeds/2017-February/000080.html). As directed by
the Council following its meeting on 16 February, staff issued a Call for
Volunteers on 1 March (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/
019785.html). Councilor Erika Mann responded to the Call and volunteered
her services (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019786.html)
Here the Council will discuss and, if appropriate, approve Erika’s
candidacy for appointment as the new GNSO co-chair to this CCWG.



*Item 4. COUNCIL VOTE – Approval of Charter for a New GNSO Standing
Selection Committee (15 minutes)*

On 13 December 2016, Councilors Susan Kawaguchi and Ed Morris circulated
for the Council’s consideration a draft document proposing a set of
criteria and a uniform process for the selection of GNSO representatives to
future Review Teams, including for the various reviews mandated by the
ICANN Bylaws, and other ICANN structures for which the GNSO will need to
appoint, nominate or endorse candidates (https://gnso.icann.org/en/
drafts/gnso-appointments-procedure-13dec16-en.pdf). Following further work
on the draft document by Susan, Ed and the Council leadership, a proposed
Charter to create a GNSO Standing Selection Committee that will conduct
future selections based on agreed, uniform criteria and a documented
process was circulated to the Council on 6 February 2017 (
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-February/019734.html) and
discussed at the Council meeting on 16 February. Here the Council is
expected to complete its discussions on the remaining open items regarding
the draft Charter, and vote on a motion to create the new GNSO Standing
Selection Committee.

If the new Committee is established, its initial tasks are expected to
include proposing a slate of GNSO nominees for the upcoming Registration
Directory Services and Accountability and Transparency Review Teams, as
well as possibly assisting with the proposed establishment of a Standing
Panel for Independent Review Processes (see Agenda Item 6, below).

4.1 – Presentation of motion (James Bladel) https://community.icann.org/x/

4.2 – Council and community discussion

*Item 5. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Updated Charter for the Cross Community
Working Group on Internet Governance (20 minutes)*



At its Public Meeting at ICANN57 in Hyderabad, India, on 7 November 2016,
the GNSO Council had approved a motion conditioning the future
participation of the GNSO as a Chartering Organization of the CCWG on
Internet Governance (CCWG-IG) upon a comprehensive review of the group’s
Charter by the CCWG-IG, in accordance with the Framework of Uniform
Principles for CCWGs that had been adopted recently by the ccNSO and GNSO
Councils (http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/uniform-framework-
principles-recommendations-16sep16-en.pdf). In its resolution, the GNSO
Council had noted that the CCWG-IG’s future work is expected to be subject
to a clear work plan, with regular updates and clear deliverables, and had
requested that, by ICANN58, the CCWG-IG was to report on its findings,
which report may include a revised charter or a recommendation to
reconstitute the group under a new structure
(https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions
- 20161107-3 <https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions#20161107-3>).



Here the Council will receive an update and report from the CCWG-IG
co-chairs, and discuss next steps in relation to the GNSO’s continued
participation as a Chartering Organization of this CCWG.

5.2 – Council and community discussion



5.3 – Next steps



*Item 6. COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Activities of the CCWG-Accountability
Independent Review Process Implementation Oversight Team (15 minutes)*



On 28 February 2017, the Independent Review Process Implementation
Oversight Team (IRP IOT) of the ongoing CCWG-Accountability informed all
ICANN Supporting Organizations and Advisory Committees (SO/ACs) that SO/ACs
will shortly be expected to work with ICANN to establish a Standing Panel
for future IRPs brought under the revised ICANN Bylaws (
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-March/019790.html) This is a
four-step process that needs to be completed in order for the
newly-constituted IRP under the revised ICANN Bylaws to be used. Here the
Council will receive an update from the GNSO’s participants in the IRP IOT,
and discuss next steps in relation to this request and any additional
actions that are expected to be forthcoming in the near term for the GNSO
Council and community.



6.1 – Update and report (CCWG-Accountability IRT IOT representatives)



6.2 – Council and community discussion



6.3 – Next steps



*Item 7: COUNCIL DISCUSSION – Proposed Council Request in relation to
Letter from Thick WHOIS Implementation Review Team (10 minutes)*

On 15 December 2016, the Thick WHOIS Implementation Review Team (IRT) sent
a letter to the GNSO Council describing a number of privacy law
developments and how the IRT has considered them (see
https://gnso.icann.org/en/correspondence/irt-to-gnso-council-15dec16-en.pdf).
The letter noted that the IRT’s implementation plan has been published for
public comment (see https://www.icann.org/public-comments/proposed-
implementation-gnso-thick-rdds-whois-transition-2016-10-26-en) and that the
IRT does not currently expect the developments in question to affect the
timeline for transition to thick WHOIS. The Council discussed the letter at
its meeting on 19 January 2017, at which Councilors Erika Mann and Michele
Neylon volunteered to draft a possible response to the IRT from the Council
for Council consideration. On 2 February 2017, Councilor Erika Mann
circulated a draft Council request for an update on the legal review that
had been done previously (https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/council/2017-
February/019729.html). Here the Council will continue its discussion of the
draft request with a view toward deciding on its further actions on this
topic, including whether and when to request the update, and whether the
scope of the request (if one is to be sent) should remain unchanged from
the previous legal review.

*Item 8: JOINT DISCUSSION – Meeting with ICANN’s Global Domains Division
(30 minutes)*



At previous ICANN Public Meetings, the GNSO Council and community had held
regular discussion sessions with senior staff from ICANN’s Global Domains
Division (GDD). This section of the Council’s Public Meeting at ICANN58 has
been added to allow the GNSO community to interact with GDD senior staff,
to discuss topics of current interest to the GNSO.
